When do Young People with Eating Disorders Access the Psychiatry Ward?
On very rare occasions an admission to the psychiatry ward provides the most appropriate treatment. This is usually used when it is still unclear what is wrong or if issues that are difficult to treat as an outpatient such as depression, self-harm, excessive compensatory behaviours (such as vomiting, laxative use or exercise) and obsessive-compulsive behaviours are present.
